|| Author POV ||

A few days had passed.

The news of the mafia king’s identity spread like wildfire, sending ripples of fear throughout the city.

The name Killian Salvatore, seemingly a flawless business tycoon, yet in truth, the ruthless king of the underworld, had become a specter of fear across the nation. Everyone in the country whispered about the King, his name, his power and success.

But not everyone knew.

Aria sat on her couch, absentmindedly munching on chips and lazily scrolling through her phone. Her eyes suddenly narrowed on an article flashing across her screen.

Aria’s hands shook and she gripped her phone tighter. “What the fuck—?” she gasped, leaning closer to the screen.

“What the hell is this?!” She almost screamed.

Noah, her boyfriend rushed over with a glass of water in hand. “What’s wrong, Aria?”

Aria turned to him with a pale face, “You..you need to see this, Noah!”

Noah’s eyes narrowed and he sat beside her, hugging her waist and peeked at her phone screen.

    || Author POV ||Rosa sat by the window. Her legs were pulled to her chest on the chair, head resting on her arms.She was scared to dangle her legs. What if someone pulls them?Her eyes were fixed on the pale moon outside but she saw nothing, felt nothing except fear.She was terrified to close her eyes. So damn terrified to sleep.The room feels alive. Someone or something.. lurking in the shadows, watching her. A presence that shouldn’t exist.And she was scared.So scared. So completely, unbearably scared!Rosa’s eyes were shimmering beautifully like an amethyst diamond in the dark.She hugged herself even tighter. There are some thoughts she refused to admit that he had forced himself on her. He couldn’t be her professor–Rosa blinked her eyes, trying to forget.She flinched slightly at the tiny clicking sound of the door. Rosa glanced back fearfully. The door opened, revealing a tall shadow. She couldn’t see his face. But It was him in the darkness.Why did he come?Rosa spun ba

    || Author POV ||Lilia stepped into Rosa’s room only to find her sitting on the bed, knees pulled close and arms wrapped tightly around herself. Her eyes were fixed on a distant corner.A pang of helplessness struck Lilia’s chest.Rosa didn’t move even when she sensed Lilia’s presence. Quietly, Lilia placed the breakfast tray on the bed and lowered herself beside Rosalie, careful not to startle her.“Dear, look at me.”Her voice was soft as her hand gently stroked through Rosa’s hair but Rosa remained motionless.“Rosalie?” she called again.She received only silence. Lilia sighed heavily and gently pulled at Rosa. Slowly, Rosa’s rigid figure softened when Lilia pressed her head against her side, drawing her into a comforting hug. Her hand moved slowly, caressing Rosa’s arm with careful tenderness.“Don’t break down, Rosalie. You are strong. Trust me, he will not hurt you.”But Rosa didn’t cry. She stayed silent in the elder’s arms and Lilia was wrong. So wrong.He had hurt her—so dee

    || Author POV ||The room grew heavier. Albert didn’t waver. Instead, his gaze met Killian’s before he finally opened his mouth.“I want you to marry Elara.”Killian’s eyes snapped at Albert in disbelief. His expression alone screamed—‘You know I already have my woman. How can you tell me to marry someone else?’His face turned to cold stone. He didn’t care how it might look infront of the elder.“I can’t!” Killian spat coldly. His response was immediate and his tone as sharp as a bladeAlbert’s calm nod was unsettling. “Why not?” he asked smoothly.“You already know exactly why–” Killian began only to be cut off.“Yes, I know.” Albert’s voice deepened. “That’s why I’m telling you to marry my granddaughter. Don’t play a fool, Killian. I know you’re aware I’ve sent my man to watch you and that innocent girl. You think I don’t know what’s going on?” Albert’s voice turned firm.Killian’s fingers curled into a tight fist on his knee. The veins on his hand standing out.“You can’t ruin an

    || Author POV ||“Leave you?” Killian scoffed darkly. “I can’t! I CAN’T BECAUSE–” his eyebrows joined. He swallowed watching her tears.“Because I’m fucking addicted to you!” he gritted. “I AM FUCKING OBSESSED!”“WITH YOU!” Rosa flinched hard.Killian loosened his grip with a soft jerk. His chest was heaving. He turned his back on her and Rosa stood frozen. Her body quaked and eyes brimmed with tears, watching him turn back.Obsession?He was obsessed with what–? Her body?The last flicker of hope inside Rosa’s chest was ripped away the moment the lock clicked shut and he was gone again.“Don’t do this to me.” her fingers dug into the fabric of her dress.Her knees gave out and she collapsed against the cold floor. The sound of her scream muffled by the heavy door. She begged, pleaded in silence until her voice broke but only silence answered her.He would not come back.She was caged again. In that suffocating room.Her palms pressed flat against the cold tiles and body quaked with h

He had almost said he was sent by someone. But who? Who would send him to save her?Clutching the window frame, Rosa waited in silence.
